## About Oscar Tellez

Oscar Tellez is the founder and CEO of SaveMyFat. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science and Health Promotion from Florida Atlantic University. Over more than a decade in the regenerative medicine industry, he has worked across product distribution, laboratory and vendor relationships, and provider training, which gave him a close, practical view of how adipose tissue banking actually works, who it involves, and where patients and providers most often have questions.

He founded SaveMyFat to connect patients and providers with a compliant, U.S.-based tissue bank and to make that process clearer and simpler. His focus is education first: helping people understand what adipose tissue banking is, what the current science does and does not support, and how the FDA framework applies, so they can make informed decisions with their own licensed providers.

## Background and areas of focus

**Education.** Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science and Health Promotion, Florida Atlantic University.

**Industry experience.** More than a decade across the regenerative medicine industry, including product distribution, laboratory and vendor relationships, and provider training.

**Areas of focus.** Adipose tissue banking, the FDA framework for human cells and tissues (HCT/Ps), and patient and provider education.

## How SaveMyFat content is created

Oscar leads the educational content at SaveMyFat. Articles are written to reflect current FDA guidance and are reviewed on a regular basis. SaveMyFat is a connector: it links patients and providers with a U.S.-based tissue bank and does not collect, process, store, or provide treatments itself.

Oscar is an industry professional, not a licensed medical provider. Nothing on this site is medical advice. For any medical decision, please talk with your own licensed healthcare provider.

**Important:** SaveMyFat connects patients and providers with a U.S.-based tissue bank for adipose tissue banking. SaveMyFat does not collect, process, or store tissue itself, and it does not provide treatments or cures for any disease or medical condition. Most adipose-derived cell products that are more than minimally manipulated are regulated as biologics and are not FDA-approved to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Banking your tissue today does not guarantee eligibility, access, or clinical benefit from any future therapy or clinical trial. This page is educational and is not medical advice. Talk with your own licensed healthcare provider about any medical decision.
